Judgement Lyrics - Judgement - Anathema

Asleep is the rose, in tired innocence 

Dreaming time away 

Secure in the comfort of slumbers faint embrace 

Blissfully ignorant, unaware of the imminence 

Recurring memories emerge from the deep 

Of old secrets unforgotten sleep 

They sink beneath the surface just long enough for you to breathe 

Then return to choke you when you wake up alone 

Shredded inside 

There's one place left to turn 

A long-term problem, a temporary remedy, 

But fuck it all anyway you can pretend to be happy 

So many years of pathetic lies, empty promises 

And unfulfilled dreams are scattered like dust into the winds 

Looking for the sun that eclipsed behind black feathered wings 

Tomorrow never comes, there was only ever one day 

But now it's too late 

The inequity of fate 

The pains of love and hate 

The heart-sick memories 

That brought you to your knees 

And the times when we were young 

When life seemed so long 

Now you are left alone 

Where did it all go wrong 

Day after day 

You burned it all away 

(And it's too late) 

All the hate that feeds your needs 

All the sickness you conceive 

All the horror you create 

Will bring you to your knees
